In view of the fact that there is a virus doing the rounds, (it tries to

and which includes an attachment which is said to cure something or
other,
I will not avail myself of this advice, however good it might be, until
I
hear from others who are brave enough to follow it.

There's a difference between downloading an official patch from
Microsoft, and executing an email attachment merely claiming to be a
patch (and in being in reality malware).

I think Franz doesn't trust the URL. I use Microsoft products under great
duress.

You are quite right.
